    My one of 2 monstermoto has died. I ordered 2 pcs. 43A IBT-2 found on ebay ( now think needed more ). If something wrong with one IBT-2 Is it possible to use one monstermoto and one IBT-2 with the same arduino uno? I think it is possible to wire but will not be any mismatch?

    My new motors arrived. Continue my project.
    Used polymorph ( ) to fitt hall sensor on motors. It is more accurate because hall sensor has no mehanical conections with magnets. Some photos.

    Nice progress @Arunas.

    I suspect the levers are a little long, somewhere in the 30-40mm CTC will likely be the zone to drive what is a pretty compact design.

    Its alive. My sim is working. :D
    I made a little video of my 2 dof with SMC3 and LFS. Sorry for bad quality.

    I have a question? Does my project meet the conditions to ask a fee DIY Simtools license? I would like to try it with DCS.

    Very sad but from all 4 pcs motomonsters and 2 pcs IBT-2 not working. only one motomonster. Wanted to save a little money. :D. Ordered Sabertooth 2x32. Now long wait again from USA.
    Question is Sabertooth 2x32 is better quality?

    Sabertooths are quality boards, but can you explain a bit more about what exactly is the problem you had?

    One of motormonster burned yesterday and 4 pcs motormonsters and 2 pcs IBT-2 all new I ordered earlier not working at all. Bad Chinese copies. :D Now I have only one working monstermoto. No more Chinese copies because it is waist of time and money i think. I will wait 1.5 month my Sabertooth from USA. :D

    Yes that works. Do not forget to enter "Mode 2" in the ArduinoCode. That happened to me. :rolleyes:

    // Set to MODE1 for use with a typical H-Bride that requires PWM and 1 or 2 direction inputs
    // Set to MODE2 for a 43A "Chinese" IBT-2 H-Bridge from e-bay or equiv

    #define MODE2

    Found :D . Made test. Both IBT-2 output to motor -6 V - +6 V. Will IBT2 43 A be good for my 12 v motors with 15 A ( 180 W ). 6v* 43 A - 258 W. They must be ok for my motors. Am i right?

    Yes that's right. Mode 2.

    I'm still a beginner with this Sim technology. But the power should fit. Just test and observe the temperature of the IBT2 heat sink when using.

    Thanks for that polymorph information. I find it very interesting :thumbs

    I think this was wrong axis configuration for sway. Sway must be opposit roll. Smoothing for roll and pitch 20 % :)
